Donna was a wonderful positive force for our class of '68 at Clarke College. I loved her devotion to her pets. So sorry she is gone.

Donna hired me MANY years ago at Time Life. She was a great mentor and so much fun! In later years we were separated by many miles but managed to get together every couple of years. Donna, Pat and I would play pinochle for hours. She had a big heart and was a most loyal friend to those close to her.. She will be missed.

Am remembering all the good times we had with you and the others in Chicago at Time Inc. What a family we were. You will be missed dearly, but thought of often as you were a very important part in my life at Time.
